sequencers should have a stage that reads a single row from a file, or from a database so taht parameters can be passed to jobs easily.
From a file is easily doable; use cat or head in an Execute Command stage (or type if it's Windows). Strip the field marks from the $CommandOutput activity variable.
Reading a row from a table is probably easily done with a server job. Use the user status area in the server job (the $UserStatus activity variable).
